AHHH!!! It's midnight. I totally cannot believe that I didn't know what time it was. I pulled up blogger just in time for the clock to strike midnight. Not okay. I've been editing pictures from a graduation party my Mom and another lady hosted for two seniors. It's still so hard to believe how much time has flown by. I can't believe Will has completed a whole year of college, I've graduated college, and Mary Margaret has gotten her Masters! Seriously, I still feel so young and yet so old. I'm pretty sure this is a feeling that never goes away. I don't like it.
While Will and I were in the car today (long story) we ended up jamming out to some pretty old songs from childhood. For me these songs brought back memories of the Olsen twins (or was that a twin Lindsey Lohan?). I'm not certain which one but I'm sure some people can relate. And don't worry, I promise my taste in movies has grown considerably even though every now and again I don't mind a good horribly-bad movie. But the song Will and I rediscovered is a pretty good one meaning wise, especially right now (though I'm pretty sure it could speak to anyone if they wanted it to). The only reason I say that is because of the lyrics I made my title. Life is changing everyday. We grow up and move forward with our lives even when it isn't exactly what we dreamed. We plan and dream but even if those dreams come true (if that's God's plan) the end result is never exactly what we hope it will be.
What I have come to gleaned from my many life experiences short time here is that life is a mindset. No matter what, how you see things and how you choose to react to any situation is your decision, but it also determines how much fun and/or happy/content you are with yourself, others around you, and general setbacks. It is easy to turn everything into a negative situation. I'm sure you could even turn winning the lottery into a negative situation, but that also means you are not having fun, the people around you aren't having fun, and you will always be looking to the future for something better until there can't be anything better. It's not a pleasant lifestyle to live and for me it's even more draining than allowing myself to be content with what I have and adjusting my attitude.
And I thought I wasn't going to blog a lot tonight. Sorry if it's just an incoherent ramble. I have another chiropractic appointment in the morning. I really hope it goes well. It's the one where I'm learning his plan to treat me. I hope he can figure out a way to do that cause my migraines are killers and I'm just about to get sick of them.
The pictures below are from Tommy and Drew's graduation party. I can remember when they were just wee tykes with my little brother and now they are all grown up. I don't like it one bit!
